Seahawks dodge Maxx Crosby trade
The Seattle Seahawks are breathing easier after a potential Maxx Crosby trade was called off [https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/seattle-seahawks/maxx-crosby-trade-is-off-news/], allowing them to keep a key defensive player.
The Seahawks' potential acquisition of Maxx Crosby fell through after the Baltimore Ravens backed out of a trade agreement, citing concerns over Crosby's physical. The Raiders had initially agreed to send Crosby to the Ravens for two first-round picks. Baltimore's decision stemmed from unease about Crosby's knee recovery following meniscus surgery. Despite Crosby's agent claiming he's ahead of schedule, the Ravens consulted independent doctors, including one from the Cowboys, who suggested potential long-term issues. Seattle's need for a strong pass rusher, combined with available cap space, initially positioned them as a potential suitor. However, odds of the Seahawks landing Crosby are dwindling, with some reports suggesting he's likely to remain with the Raiders. The Raiders are reportedly prepared to keep Crosby and have already received calls from several teams inquiring about a trade. However, they are unlikely to receive the same value as the Ravens' initial offer.
